Regretfully, this event has been postponed til sometime in February or March. Because of recent heavy rains, the council has stopped all access to the Lordshill playing fields.

Sorry if this spoils anyones plans
Love Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Needs to fly more, now that I can.

Wasn't it last Sunday?!

Traditionally it is always held on Armistice Sunday and according to the SKF website it was due for the 8th : http://www.solentkiteflyers.co.uk/diary.php

Also, someone from work said they saw lots of people flying there last Sunday. :shock:

Perhaps I missed the date change someplace?

Anyhow.. we're due for 75mph gales tonight with torrential rain.. so perhaps it's all for the best :lol:

Not according to Allan, who is apparently in charge of it these days. I did check with them when it looked to clash with Hinckley and was told the SKF website was wrong.

It'll be fine by tomorrow, it's just that the ground will be saturated.

I'll be on the beach at Weston for a coaching day for novices, better be as forecast :evil:

I'll be on the sofa with my leg strapped up due to a hamstring tear :( Not much flying for me for a while!
